e1000/e1000e: Fix leak in DMA error cleanup
If an error is encountered while mapping TX buffers, the driver should
unmap any buffers already mapped for that skb.
Because count is incremented after a successful mapping, it will always
match the correct number of unmappings needed when dma_error is reached.
Decrementing count before the while loop in dma_error causes an
off-by-one error. If any mapping was successful before an unsuccessful
mapping, exactly one DMA mapping would leak.
In these commits, a faulty while condition caused an infinite loop in
dma_error:

cgroup: fix race between task migration and iteration
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cgroup: fix race between task migration and iteration
When a task is migrated out of a css_set, cgroup_migrate_add_task()
first moves it from cset->tasks to cset->mg_tasks via:
list_move_tail(&task->cg_list, &cset->mg_tasks);
If a css_task_iter currently has it->task_pos pointing to this task,
css_set_move_task() calls css_task_iter_skip() to keep the iterator
valid. However, since the task has already been moved to ->mg_tasks,
the iterator is advanced relative to the mg_tasks list instead of the
original tasks list. As a result, remaining tasks on cset->tasks, as

ALSA: pcm: fix use-after-free on linked stream runtime in snd_pcm_drain()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: pcm: fix use-after-free on linked stream runtime in snd_pcm_drain()
In the drain loop, the local variable 'runtime' is reassigned to a
linked stream's runtime (runtime = s->runtime at line 2157). After
releasing the stream lock at line 2169, the code accesses
runtime->no_period_wakeup, runtime->rate, and runtime->buffer_size
(lines 2170-2178) — all referencing the linked stream's runtime without
any lock or refcount protecting its lifetime.
A concurrent close() on the linked stream's fd triggers

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: xhci: Fix memory leak in xhci_disable_slot()
xhci_alloc_command() allocates a command structure and, when the
second argument is true, also allocates a completion structure.
Currently, the error handling path in xhci_disable_slot() only frees
the command structure using kfree(), causing the completion structure
to leak.
Use xhci_free_command() instead of kfree(). xhci_free_command() correctly
frees both the command structure and the associated completion structure.
Since the command structure is allocated with zero-initialization,
command->in_ctx is NULL and will not
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: yurex: fix race in probe
The bbu member of the descriptor must be set to the value
standing for uninitialized values before the URB whose
completion handler sets bbu is submitted. Otherwise there is
a window during which probing can overwrite already retrieved
data.
USB: usbtmc: Use usb_bulk_msg_killable() with user-specified timeouts
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
USB: usbtmc: Use usb_bulk_msg_killable() with user-specified timeouts
The usbtmc driver accepts timeout values specified by the user in an
ioctl command, and uses these timeouts for some usb_bulk_msg() calls.
Since the user can specify arbitrarily long timeouts and
usb_bulk_msg() uses unkillable waits, call usb_bulk_msg_killable()
instead to avoid the possibility of the user hanging a kernel thread
indefinitely.
USB: core: Limit the length of unkillable synchronous timeouts
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
USB: core: Limit the length of unkillable synchronous timeouts
The usb_control_msg(), usb_bulk_msg(), and usb_interrupt_msg() APIs in
usbcore allow unlimited timeout durations. And since they use
uninterruptible waits, this leaves open the possibility of hanging a
task for an indefinitely long time, with no way to kill it short of
unplugging the target device.
To prevent this sort of problem, enforce a maximum limit on the length
of these unkillable timeouts. The limit chosen here, somewhat
arbitrarily, is 60 seconds. On many systems (although not all) this
is short eno
usb: class: cdc-wdm: fix reordering issue in read code path
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: class: cdc-wdm: fix reordering issue in read code path
Quoting the bug report:
Due to compiler optimization or CPU out-of-order execution, the
desc->length update can be reordered before the memmove. If this
happens, wdm_read() can see the new length and call copy_to_user() on
uninitialized memory. This also violates LKMM data race rules [1].
Fix it by using WRITE_ONCE and memory barriers.
usb: renesas_usbhs: fix use-after-free in ISR during device removal
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: renesas_usbhs: fix use-after-free in ISR during device removal
In usbhs_remove(), the driver frees resources (including the pipe array)
while the interrupt handler (usbhs_interrupt) is still registered. If an
interrupt fires after usbhs_pipe_remove() but before the driver is fully
unbound, the ISR may access freed memory, causing a use-after-free.
Fix this by calling devm_free_irq() before freeing resources. This ensures
the interrupt handler is both disabled and synchronized (waits for any
running ISR to complete) before usbhs_pipe_remove() is called.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: image: mdc800: kill download URB on timeout
mdc800_device_read() submits download_urb and waits for completion.
If the timeout fires and the device has not responded, the function
returns without killing the URB, leaving it active.
A subsequent read() resubmits the same URB while it is still
in-flight, triggering the WARN in usb_submit_urb():
"URB submitted while active"
Check the return value of wait_event_timeout() and kill the URB if
it indicates timeout, ensuring the URB is complete before its status
is inspected or the URB is resubmitted.

usb: gadget: f_tcm: Fix NULL pointer dereferences in nexus handling
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: gadget: f_tcm: Fix NULL pointer dereferences in nexus handling
The `tpg->tpg_nexus` pointer in the USB Target driver is dynamically
managed and tied to userspace configuration via ConfigFS. It can be
NULL if the USB host sends requests before the nexus is fully
established or immediately after it is dropped.
Currently, functions like `bot_submit_command()` and the data
transfer paths retrieve `tv_nexus = tpg->tpg_nexus` and immediately
dereference `tv_nexus->tvn_se_sess` without any validation. If a
malicious or misconfigured USB host sends a BOT (Bulk-Only Transport)
usb: gadget: f_ncm: Fix net_device lifecycle with device_move
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: gadget: f_ncm: Fix net_device lifecycle with device_move
The network device outlived its parent gadget device during
disconnection, resulting in dangling sysfs links and null pointer
dereference problems.
A prior attempt to solve this by removing SET_NETDEV_DEV entirely [1]
was reverted due to power management ordering concerns and a NO-CARRIER
regression.
A subsequent attempt to defer net_device allocation to bind [2] broke
1:1 mapping between function instance and network device, making it
impossible for configfs to report the resolved interface name. This

powerpc, perf: Check that current->mm is alive before getting user callchain
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc, perf: Check that current->mm is alive before getting user callchain
It may happen that mm is already released, which leads to kernel panic.
This adds the NULL check for current->mm, similarly to
commit 20afc60f892d ("x86, perf: Check that current->mm is alive before getting user callchain").
I was getting this panic when running a profiling BPF program
(profile.py from bcc-tools):

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: qla2xxx: Completely fix fcport double free
In qla24xx_els_dcmd_iocb() sp->free is set to qla2x00_els_dcmd_sp_free().
When an error happens, this function is called by qla2x00_sp_release(),
when kref_put() releases the first and the last reference.
qla2x00_els_dcmd_sp_free() frees fcport by calling qla2x00_free_fcport().
Doing it one more time after kref_put() is a bad idea.
scsi: hisi_sas: Fix NULL pointer exception during user_scan()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: hisi_sas: Fix NULL pointer exception during user_scan()
user_scan() invokes updated sas_user_scan() for channel 0, and if
successful, iteratively scans remaining channels (1 to shost->max_channel)
via scsi_scan_host_selected() in commit 37c4e72b0651 ("scsi: Fix
sas_user_scan() to handle wildcard and multi-channel scans"). However,
hisi_sas supports only one channel, and the current value of max_channel is
1. sas_user_scan() for channel 1 will trigger the following NULL pointer
exception:

tipc: fix divide-by-zero in tipc_sk_filter_connect()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tipc: fix divide-by-zero in tipc_sk_filter_connect()
A user can set conn_timeout to any value via
setsockopt(TIPC_CONN_TIMEOUT), including values less than 4. When a
SYN is rejected with TIPC_ERR_OVERLOAD and the retry path in
tipc_sk_filter_connect() executes:
delay %= (tsk->conn_timeout / 4);
If conn_timeout is in the range [0, 3], the integer division yields 0,
and the modulo operation triggers a divide-by-zero exception, causing a
kernel oops/panic.
Fix this by clamping conn_timeout to a minimum of 4 at the point of use
in tipc_sk_filter_connect().

libceph: Fix potential out-of-bounds access in ceph_handle_auth_reply()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
libceph: Fix potential out-of-bounds access in ceph_handle_auth_reply()
This patch fixes an out-of-bounds access in ceph_handle_auth_reply()
that can be triggered by a message of type CEPH_MSG_AUTH_REPLY. In
ceph_handle_auth_reply(), the value of the payload_len field of such a
message is stored in a variable of type int. A value greater than
INT_MAX leads to an integer overflow and is interpreted as a negative
value. This leads to decrementing the pointer address by this value and
subsequently accessing it because ceph_decode_need() only checks that
the memory access does
libceph: Use u32 for non-negative values in ceph_monmap_decode()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
libceph: Use u32 for non-negative values in ceph_monmap_decode()
This patch fixes unnecessary implicit conversions that change signedness
of blob_len and num_mon in ceph_monmap_decode().
Currently blob_len and num_mon are (signed) int variables. They are used
to hold values that are always non-negative and get assigned in
ceph_decode_32_safe(), which is meant to assign u32 values. Both
variables are subsequently used as unsigned values, and the value of
num_mon is further assigned to monmap->num_mon, which is of type u32.
Therefore, both variables should be of type u32. Thi

Just like in commit 154828bf9559 ("staging: rtl8723bs: fix out-of-bounds
read in rtw_get_ie() parser"), we don't trust the data in the frame so
we should check the length better before acting on it
